Frequently asked questions

What is the cut-off mark for state universities in 2026?

Cut-off marks for state universities in the 2026 cycle range from 200 to 276, with an average of 229 across the 229 institution-course combinations tracked in this guide. JAMB's national minimum is 150; the figure that decides consideration is always the specific course cut-off at the institution.

Which state universities have the lowest cut-off in 2026?

The lowest state universities cut-off in this guide for 2026 is 200 at EKSU for Agricultural Science. Sorting the table on this page ascending by UTME cut-off surfaces the most accessible options first - useful for candidates with mid-range JAMB scores.

Which state universities have the highest cut-off in 2026?

The highest state universities cut-off in this guide for 2026 is 276 at EKSU for Medicine and Surgery. These competitive-ceiling figures reflect the strongest candidate pools; a comfortable margin above the cut-off plus a strong post-UTME is the realistic plan.

How are state universities cut-offs decided by JAMB?

JAMB sets the national minimum admissible score at its annual policy meeting (150 for universities in 2026). Each institution then sets its own general and course-specific cut-offs above that floor, based on candidate volume, applicant strength and the number of available places. The course cut-off, not the national minimum, is the decisive figure.

Do state universities cut-offs change every year?

Yes. Cut-offs are reset for each admission cycle. They rise when more high-scoring candidates choose a programme and ease when applicant volume drops. Plan around the current 2026 figure rather than a previous year's number, and always confirm against the institution's official portal before paying any fees.

Where can I find the official state universities cut-off marks?

Official cut-off marks are published by each institution on its admissions or registry portal, and by JAMB through the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS). The figures on this page are paraphrased from those announcements and kept current through the 2026 cycle; treat the institution's own portal as authoritative.
